“People do what they have to in this life. We try to get from one end of it to the other with dignity and with honor. We do the best we can.”

“I think that perhaps everyone has a moment that splits their life in two. When you look back on your own time line there's a sharp spike somewhere along the way, some event that changed you, changed your life more than the others. A moment that creates a before and an after. Maybe it's when you meet your love or you figure out your life's passion or you have your first child. Maybe it's something wonderful. Maybe it's something tragic. But when it happens it tints your memories, shifts your perspective on your own life and it suddenly seems as if everyone you've been through falls under the label of pre or post.”

“We're so young. We can't, we MUST not loose this sense of possibility because in the end, it's all we have.”
― Marina Keegan, The Opposite of Loneliness: Essays and Stories

“Just because something isn’t meant to last a lifetime doesn’t mean it wasn’t meant to be.”
